A Chinese miniature meiping shape vase, measuring 4 x 2 1/4 ins., dating to the early 20th century. The vase has a bright orange glaze that is decorated with gilt scrolls and happiness characters. The glazed base has a 2-character mark that reads YU WAN, or (Precious) Jade Curios. This mark can be found on Kangxi to Republic Period porcelain. See Nilsson’s excellent website, www.gotheborg.com, for this mark and many others on Chinese and Japanese wares. See also Qingzheng’s Dictionary of Chinese Ceramics, p. 304, for this mark. I believe that this vase is 20th century. It is in fine and original condition.
